 Thunder Arcade [ Preview · Control Panel ]

The long awaited Thunder Arcade 2 has been released, now for ZetaBooards. Built from scratch, this arcade system is the more advanced than any other arcade modification before it.

Registration
Be sure to choose ZetaBoards for the Message Board System.

http://thunderservices.net/Arcade/proxgb/Registration.php

Installation
Open your forum's Admin CP and find its Board Template. In the Javascripts area, paste the following code at the top.

Code:
 
<script type="text/javascript">
atitle = "[Account Name]";
turl = location.href;

function get(name){
var q = unescape(location.search.substring(1)).split(/[=&]/);

for (j = 0; j < q.length; j += 2){
if (q[j] == name){
return q[j+1];
}
}

return null;
}

if (turl.match("pages/arcade") != null) {
document.write('<base href="http://thunderservices.net/Arcade/proxgb/" />');
}
</script>

Replace [Account Name] - on the second line - with the Account Name you chose during Registration.

Next locate the Above the Copyright area and paste the following at the top.

Code:
 
<script type="text/javascript">
var onlinestatus = "http://thunderservices.net/Arcade/proxgb/zetaonline.php?b=" + atitle;

if (turl.match("online") != null) {
document.write('<script src="' + onlinestatus + '" type="text/javascript"><\/script>');
}
</script>


Next locate your forum's Website Maker. Click on Create New Webpage and use the following information.

Information
FieldText
Page IDarcade
Page TitleArcade
Link to this page in the board menu?Yes
Page Content<script src="http://thunderservices.net/Arcade/proxgb/zetaarcade.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Click Edit Webpage.

Configuration
The last thing you must do is update your Board URL in the [ Control Panel ].

Click Arcade Settings on the left side of the page and locate Board URL. Update it with the following format.

Quote:
 
http://s[Server Number].zetaboards.com/[Forum Name[/pages/arcade/


Example: http://s11.zetaboards.com/Thunder_Services/pages/arcade/

The [Server Number] would be 11 and the [Forum Name] would be Thunder_Services

If you have a custom domain, use this format:

Quote:
 
http://[Domain]/pages/arcade/


Example: http://support.thunderservices.net/pages/arcade/

The [Domain] would be support.thunderservices.net

Save changes to your Board Templates, and congratulate yourself! You are finished! :)

Same here, I have had a support ticket open for quite some time now. I have been completely unable to fix it. I have tried creating a new account, and then messing with the page layout to no avail.

Wait, I was able to fix mine. In the "Board URL:" under "Arcade Setting", make sure your domain is correct. I have a custom domain, and somehow it got a "www" in front of it when I don't have a "www" domain.

Best of luck. However I am still having some issues, as on the Arcade Home Page, the stuff that is usually below at the bottom of the board is at the top of the page. But this only occurs at the "Arcade Home" no where else in the arcade.

So this arcade is now down? Because I am unable to access the CP, and my Arcade page is blank now.

I need to know if this will be fixed, or if I should start looking for alternatives.

 I haven't much from anyone in charge over the course of the 8+ days it's been down, other than the speculation that the DB is gone, which is bad news. I switched over to Comm X (Arcade X) and it's okay, but it doesn't have half the options Thunder Arcade had. However, it's the only other arcade alternative.

As for alternatives, all I can recommend is this: Entertainment X. (<- Link) Like I said, they're okay, but don't have a lot of features compared to Thunder, but then again, something is better than nothing. I hate to say it.
